KVM: SVM: Add definitions for new bits in VMCB::int_ctrl related to vNMI



Add defines for three new bits in VMVC::int_ctrl that are part of SVM's
Virtual NMI (vNMI) support:

  V_NMI_PENDING_MASK(11)  - Virtual NMI is pending
  V_NMI_BLOCKING_MASK(12) - Virtual NMI is masked
  V_NMI_ENABLE_MASK(26)   - Enable NMI virtualization

To "inject" an NMI, the hypervisor (KVM) sets V_NMI_PENDING.  When the
CPU services the pending vNMI, hardware clears V_NMI_PENDING and sets
V_NMI_BLOCKING, e.g. to indicate that the vCPU is handling an NMI.
Hardware clears V_NMI_BLOCKING upon successful execution of IRET, or if a
VM-Exit occurs while delivering the virtual NMI.
